The Food Chain Friends are creatures from Daro, a small green planet much like Earth as it was two million years ago. Daro teems with wildlife, and its exceptionally social and gracious species flourish in a complex-but, oddly, very friendly - ecosystem. They're friends. They eat each other. They're the Food Chain Friends. It's complicated relationship.
Each Food Chain Friend is plush. Lower levels fit into upper level friends' mouths.
Fraaky™
The Fraaky, the tiniest creature of the Daro prairie, scurries to and fro, bonking into things and feasting on dust too small to see with the naked eye His best friend and main predator is Skitter, with whom he loves to play a great game of tag.

Skitter™

I love these guys! I bought these for my 2 year old, but I have more fun with them than he does! Cute and clever... I want all of them now! Bought a set for my sister's son, and she, too, loves them even more than he does!
Great Friends

My three year old son loved receiving the Food Chain Friends. They're so soft and their fur is silky. They fit inside one another's mouths easily so my son can instigate the devouring at will. I like that the friends come with names and story-lines.

My nieces & nephews love, love, love the Food Chain Friends. I bought one in a hurry before the last family birthday, just for something to give. It was the hit of the party! Not only that, but they haven't stopped playing with it. There have been loud "discussions" about whose turn it is, so for Christmas I bought them all a chain. Thank goodness there're multiple chains!
